    This happened before as long as lebron has floor spacers, a backup PG and a non ball dominant big just a cutter, he’ll manage to win a series offensively

    But that defensive scheme it:s JJ reddick.

    Rockets needs to make their perimeter shots to force Lakers double on KD should be the man guarding Sengun to fire up a 2 man Game.. Thompson is not a shooter and everytime he catches the ball from KD he always looks for Sengun.. that’s a problem

    When LeBron James takes control of a playoff series, history says itโ€™s already over.

    Sitting at a perfect 32โ€“0 when leading 2โ€“0, LeBron has built a reputation for closing the door once he gains the upper hand.

    Itโ€™s about experience, control, and knowing how to manage every moment that follows. Teams have tried to fight back from that deficit against him, but none have succeeded.

    Now, with the Rockets staring at that same situation, the challenge isnโ€™t just winning games, itโ€™s rewriting history against one of the greatest to ever do it.

    The pressure just reached another level.

    as if theres something a 41 year old can do that can make any impact on a players legacy. If you didn’t see it for the past 23 years you aint seeing it now. This is what happens when fat non athletic losers commentate on professional athletes.
